You put a lot of time, energy and heart into your Passover seders. The last thing you want to do is let anything go to waste.
For some strange reason, preparing for Passover elicits a lot of anxiety and stress in some Jews.Â
As an Iranian-Jew, I see the revolution unfolding in Iran and cannot help but connect it to the story of Exodus.
Each year at Passover, I think about Rose, my grandmother’s cousin, who was born in a shtetl, but kept creating new memories during the holiday in the late 1990s.Â
This year we contacted a handful of our community’s leaders and thinkers and prompted them to reflect on what Passover, the most observed of all the Jewish holidays, means to them.Â
I finally realized that we Jews probably would have perished in Egypt, or have been non-Jewish Egyptians today, if it were not for the wise decisions of several women who, I argue, not only saved Moses, but all of the Israelites over 3,000 years ago.Â
It could have been a night to remember. It could have been a nightmare. It would have been both.Â
Happy Passover! Welcome to a week filled with food, family and lotsa matzah!
